Food disappearing consistently

[1A Gaming]

What is that Hand icon that pops up when I pick food? I see it, some spell is passively cast, and when I look at inventory, I have no food. As a mage, are you not allowed to carry food? When I started, I had food, but now it's 100% impossible to collect any.

One time I picked strawberries, apples and grapes, right in a row, and inventory had none if it. I had like 5% max hp so I desperately needed it.

I won't continue the game if I can't heal lost max hp, so someone please tell me how to avoid this passive spell that deletes food, or transforms it into something else, or whatever the heck it's doing. Unplayable this way.

Logistician.

It's a pawn specialization that pawns will automatically craft items from all team backpacks. If your own pawn doesn't have it, then a pawn you recruited does. It's actually one of the better ones, in my opinion.

Also, they should be crafting potions what heal more than the raw food you're eating. Check all your pawns backpacks, not just yours.

PS:
You can't heal lost maximum hp through consumables. You have to rest at a campire for that. (even if you don't eat anything when doing so)

wow if you can recruit a pawn and they can just nuke all the stuff you collected into potentially unwanted recipes that sounds horrible

Food and certain items have a decay timer, they will turn rotten if you dont use or craft them into anything.

it is, you are better off with the teamwide curatives or the one that marks resources with talking

Yep, which is why it's such a great specialization.
I had worried about "but they may make stuff I don't want", but in the end, not really. I end up with a lot more permanent potions and remedies than i would otherwise, and that's really all you can craft with that stuff anyway.

I more worried about the meat, spose to be steak but all I see is fatty chops what is this love they have for fat laden meat.

Holding on to meat and fruits untill they age to make roborants is way better in terms of healing that just turning every leaf and cranberry you find into that tiny green potion.

I dunno to each their own but when I know as a matter of fact everyone is gonna feel differently when they reach level 100 and you need 12 of those potions to full heal.

also the cool thing about roborants is that if your adventure goes well and you dont need them in the end you can sell them for decentish gold.

Like I said, I picked apples, grapes and strawberries, immediately looked inventory to eat them so I could heal, and no food existed at all. And yes, Logistician is what it is.

So, if I'm reading this (in horror) right, food no longer heals lost max hp like it definitely did in Dark Arisen? That changes my review. I sure af can't drop 2k every single day to heal. Holy crap would that be a nightmare. Food is my number 1 necessity in DA. If food no longer heals, that would be my number 1 mod request, to fix what they ruined.

Wow. "Let's make it so food is obsolete". Just wow, dude...

A tent weighs 6 to 7 kg. Hell no I'm not lugging that around. No wonder they came up with the golden beatle thing to raise inventory weight limit.

the game tells you they will combine things, the pawn tells you before you hire them they will combine things, the game tells you every single time they combine things. Avoid it if it bugs you but I've never found it annoying, they don't seem to use quest items (like if you need harspud) and the items they make are pretty much always better.

obviously if you're relying on arrow crafting then you want to avoid this but for most classes and setups its more than fine. Maybe they make things based off what you make? I make alot of healing items and thats all my pawn seems to make for me, she tends to leave all my meat in my bag until i cook it

it only matters in the first few hours of play, by now i'm basically never taking so much chip damage that i need to sleep more than once every 4 in game days (unless i ran into a really hard multi big monster brawl). Food is far from obsolete as you use it at campfires for long lasting rather large buffs. I have already used more food in DD2 than I did in my entire time playing DD.

You can already heal back from zero hp if you pause the game and heal before your long ass death animation is playing so one shots literally don't matter.

if you installed that mod you'd find the game is basically baby mode. Because you'd be able to resurrect and full heal from any fatal damage with a bunch of apples.

You can pause/heal?? Aw that changes things. Thank you.

I spent 1½ hours last night trying to find an inn. Only bars seemed to exist, so I started climbing random stairs and found that upstairs is where you sleep. I didn't have 2k so I had to fight the Goblin Cave with 20% hp. There are plenty of goblins, harpies and even an ogre on the way to that very early mission so it wasn't fun.

I've just been selling goblin horns for money since they never seem to carry money. Where's the dam Silver Bra lol. That was my go-to for early game survival in Dark Arisen but I can't find it in Venworth.

Hold up. For real? That'll make fighting ogres so much better. Don't have to worry about a single flash stepped dropkick taking me from 80% to 0 anymore. Thanks for the info.

Hurry up, before they patch it. This is probably the single most important bit of info I've gotten about the game.

I beat my first drake with this info. I had him down to less than 10% of his last health bar, at which point he just stayed in the air, dropping lightning, meteors, and breathing fire on all of us. He hit me with lightning while I was out of stamina from avoiding everything, and I just crumpled. I shoved a bunch of apples in my gob, and was able to pull it out when he landed during the death animation.

It was pretty great, actually.
